musician/producer/DJ/radio cat originally from Detroit moved to
Noozilland in 2001. now immersed in the auckland lifestyle, but still have mad love for welleeze.
i like to try on some instruments for fun (saxophone, keyz) and love playing in my band. these guys are tops, i'm blessed to be able to rock with this talented crew! (although the nacrolepsy makes it difficult at times)
check us @ www.myspace.com/reclooseliveband. and come for a boogie if we're in the neighborhood...
I also love djing and have been fumbling with decks since 1995. deep dusties are usually on the program if i can help it.
and of course can't forget concocting music in the studio, been playing with samplers synths and other machines for awhile too. there's some more of that underground sound on the way...
so far i have released 4 full players (2002's 'Cardiology', 2005's 'Hiatus on the Horizon', and 2007's 'Backwards and Sideways' live album, and 2008/2009's 'Perfect Timing), chock full of experimentations and collaborations with some great artists from around the world (especially New Zealand and Detroit). the latter was awarded the nz music award for best electronica/dance album. whatever that means...
meanwhile back at the ranch, i'm loving aotearoa with all its dope anomalies and people. soul and mana
america?? yeah i miss you too. big aroha to Detroit, come and visit please?
stay tuned to myspace, twitter, and of course this blogthang (www.hititandquititradio.blogspot.com)...
